EU referendum : David Cameron resigns as UK Prime Minister

David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister after Britain voted to leave the European Union.

With the Leave campaign securing 52 per cent of the vote, Mr Cameron addressed the nation in an emotional speech outside 10 Downing Street to announce that he would be stepping down.

While England voted overwhelmingly for Brexit, Scotland and Northern Ireland backed Remain. Statements are expected to be made by Sinn Fein and the SNP later today calling for a breakaway from the Union. London backed Remain but the turnout was lower than expected because of bad weather.

Meanwhile on the market, the FTSE 250 index has plunged a whopping 11.7pc. The index of so-called mid-cap companies had dropped an astonishing 2,017 points to 15,309 in the first few minutes of trading.

AS UK CHOOSES WHERE TO BE FREELY WITHOUT KILLING ANYONE WHY NOT UK LEAVE THE PEOPLE OF #BIAFRA ALONE TO MAKE THERE OWN CHOICE OF FREEDOM. WE DONT WANT TO BE NIGERIA ANYMORE. THE FORCEFUL UNION HAS EXPIRED. BIAFRA RESTORATION. #FREEBIAFRA #FREENNAMDIKANU

Good and civilised nation you people must allow us the Biafrans to go as the same way you chooses we're peace loving people we're peace keeping nation (BIAFRA)we're not terrorist like bokoharam and others free Nnamdi kanu free Biafrans.

This is just the beginning of the disintegration of United Kingdom. Soon, Scotland will conduct referendum to become an independent nation. Wales is looking into that option too. UK, an evil kingdom like former USSR cannot stand. Same with Nigeria. Nigeria MUST be divided into 3 or 4 republics - otherwise, it will become another Somalia or Afghanistan. Tyrant Buhari and his northern jihadists and Yoruba cowards are wasting their time urging for “One Nigeria.” Shame on them for killing Biafrans for ‘One Nigeria.” What a bunch of hypocrites and evil people.
